Winter League Game Week #2 - vs Paarl(Mens 4s)


Hello Green and Blue.

Date: 21 April 2012
Time: 13h30
Venue: Paarl Gym
Opponents: Paarl


4s take out the Plaas Jappies!!!!
A few kinks to work on for the next game:

Learn to play in an oven... and the last 20 minutes of the game

So we all arrived at the grass fields ready to go at 11:30 just incase someone was late... after realising that Thombraider was already on his way and Rusty needed to be picked up in Kraaifontein we drew straws as to who was going to fetch him, threw the straws away and voted for Laggies to fetch him figuring he could communicate with the locals having the only car with mags in our convo.  We left Cape Town for our Voortrek to Paarl. On our way there we saw a Red Ferrari and took it as a good Omen. We stopped at Paarl Spar  to get a bite to eat when this one eyed waitress walks up to us to find out which sport we play, I looked at Cracker and Tim, and responded with Rugby. Without a flinch she asked who we played for?? ( clearly rugby teams out there come in all shapes and sizes!!!)

We arrived at Paarl Gym and realised we were walking into an inter-schools against Tygerberg. We drove through realizing if Goose had been our ref he would have died at the hands of one of the very large fathers.

We sat on the side and watched Paarl Gym beat Tygerberg 12 nil, Tygerberg had clearly been watching Mighty ducks as the flying V was being used, not very affectively, but they get points for consistency.
Parents weren't to happy with me shouting FLYING V from the stands...
oh well tough cookies.

So we warmed up, it was about 40 degrees so warm up was pretty chilled.(Tosser - OMG, next time I'm going to include my entire weekend in my match report as well)

The game started and with a couple of runs at there circle, Cracker and Johno (Tosser - known as HarbiJohn) making a few 1-2s, eventual on his 1st game in the green and blue Johno found the back of the net opening his hopefully generous account at Mutual. Paarl countered but were stopped in their tracks.
we found the net again and the socre became 2-0 to green and blue. Some how they countered and due to and ill timed sub they scored.

HT score 2-1 to Mutual

During half time we watered our boots down bit concerned they might become a fire hazard, chat was good, a 'keep it going' attitude, we can do this, another 4 will get us a bonus point!!!

Second half started well, we hit the turf burning, couple of movements round the back saw us move forward and snatch another one. Mutual 3 - 1 Paarl. At this point it was decided that we were all dehydrated so started making subs all over the show and letting Cracker and Tim do a bit of long corner training which due to Tim's great angle shot put another away Mutual 4 - 1 Paarl !!! After a little counter attack, for some reason Liam ran the ball straight up the middle and what can only be compared to the parting of the Red sea smashed the ball straight at the keeper who eagerly spread his legs ( must be Liam good looks without his glasses) Mutual 5 - 1 Paarl. Liam decided that it was his move of the day and became the 5th defender. Our forwards decided short corners would dominate the rest of the game and got so many I lost count.
After realizing the game was coming to an end and we didnt have that 5 goal difference I began shouting at TIm to put one more away, he didnt seem to here me as they carried on with who can shoot with the tightest angle.

Final score Mutual 5 - 1 Paarl

Point to ponder: If the ref say his Rusty believe him.
                        New rule a flick at goal can be dangerous if on target who knew


Yours in Green and Blue (94.5% of the time)
